Chapter 637

Juniper was totally bummed out by Anthony's words, feeling pretty low.

The second she walked in, Saffron shot her a death glare, "Why are you back? To brag about snagging Anthony? Think you're hot stuff now? Wanna shout it from the rooftops?"

Juniper was so lost in her thoughts, she didn't even catch Saffron's rant.

"Oh, you're ignoring me now? Just 'cause you're with Anthony, you think you're better than everyone?" Saffron shoved her.

"Get lost. Stop bugging me," Juniper snapped.

"You dare tell me to get lost?"

"Yeah, it's not the first time. Do I need to be with Anthony to diss you? I can trash-talk you like a street rat anytime I want."

"You-" Saffron was fuming, "You think Anthony's serious about you? He's just playing you. With all those rich girls around, why would he pick you?"

"He's already introduced me to his parents. Isn't it hilarious you still say that?" Juniper rolled her eyes hard, "What? Jealous? Jealous that my boyfriend is Anthony, and you're stuck with the loser Douglas I ditched?"

"Haha, you schemed to steal Douglas, and before you could even enjoy it, you found out he's just a weakling, right?" Juniper added.

"You..."

"What? Am I wrong? You're yelling at me 'cause you're crazy jealous, but it's pointless. The only guy you could steal is trash like Douglas. As for Anthony, good luck."

"I..." Saffron was so mad she couldn't even speak, almost grinding her teeth.

"Saffron, I'm telling you, you and Douglas are a perfect match. While my guy is Anthony, so get ready to be jealous forever."

"Bitch, I'll fight you," Unable to win the argument, Saffron lunged at Juniper.

"Get off!" Juniper pushed her away, super annoyed.

Saffron stumbled back a few steps, wanting to charge back even harder. But when she saw Aaron come out of the room, she immediately sat on the ground, pretending to be all pitiful and wailing, "Juniper, how could you hit me... I'm pregnant..."

"What the hell is going on!" Aaron rushed downstairs.

Elara chimed in, "Juniper, you're too cruel, hitting a pregnant woman like that. Are you trying to kill both Saffron and her baby? How can you be so vicious! Honey, look at her, trying to harm Saffron. She wants to kill your grandchild too."

Juniper coldly watched their act. Saffron's acting skills must be inherited from Elara. Their performance was laughable.

"Stop it, always arguing, there's never a moment of peace in this house!" Aaron said, frowning.

"Honey, it was Juniper who deliberately pushed Saffron. How can you say we're arguing? She's the one at fault," Elara accused.

"Juniper, I... I hurt so much... Dad..." Saffron's tears welled up, looking particularly pitiful. "Dad, you have to stand up for me..."

"Alright, alright, nothing happened, no need to make a big deal out of it," Aaron said.

"Nothing happened? Does Saffron have to miscarry for it to be something? How can you be so biased towards her? Who knows what she'll do to Saffron next!" Elara said angrily.

"Juniper, be more gentle in the future. After all, Saffron is pregnant, you..."

"I didn't even use any force, but she insists on acting. Even if I didn't touch her, she might still miscarry," Juniper sneered and went upstairs.

"Honey, look at her, doing such things and still being so arrogant!" Elara accused.

"Forget it, help Saffron back to her room to rest. You know Juniper's temper, just try to avoid her in the future."

"You're totally on Juniper's side now, huh?"

Juniper slammed the door, blocking out all the noise, feeling super annoyed.

All she could think about was Anthony's cold face and his harsh words.

She wasn't some delicate flower. Even though he kept pushing her away, she didn't mind and still treated him warmly. She thought they were getting closer, but he misunderstood her so badly. It really crushed her.

She smiled bitterly, 'Anthony, how could you do this to me? Is it still just my wishful thinking?'

"Juniper?"

"Leave me alone," Juniper yelled.

But Aaron still walked in with a smile, holding a plate of cherries, "Look, I personally washed your favorite cherries."

"I don't want to eat, get out." Juniper threw herself onto the bed, turning her back to him. She couldn't remember the last time Aaron tried to please her like this. It was all about benefits. She didn't want to see her dad being so fake; it was heartbreaking.

"What's wrong? Who pissed you off? You know Saffron and... don't let it get to you."

Juniper couldn't help but sneer. In the past, whenever there was a fight, Aaron always took their side. Now he was siding with her. But it wasn't because he believed her, it was because of Anthony.

No one believed her. To them, she was probably a terrible person, selfish, bad-tempered, and scheming.

Whatever, she didn't care what they thought.

"Want a cherry?"

"No."

"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with Anthony? Weren't you fine just now? Were you being difficult again? Don't take advantage of Anthony's kindness and be so willful. Anthony is different from the guys you dated before. He's the president of the Eilish Group. How could he pamper you? You need to chill out."

"You mean I should bow down to him?"

"How could I ask you to bow down? I'm just asking you not to be too difficult. Meeting Mr. Eilish is your luck."

"Is it my luck or your luck? All you think about is profit."

Aaron's face darkened, "How can you say that about me? Yes, I care about the Cooper Group's interests. After all, I'm the president, and I have to be responsible for the thousands of employees at the Cooper Group. And for Anthony, it's just a small favor. What's wrong with that? Mr. Eilish is so good to you, giving you billion-dollar projects just like that, and you still fight with him?"

"You're scared I'll break up with him at this critical moment and those projects will fall through, right?"

The truth she said made Aaron feel a bit embarrassed, "Anyway, I'm doing this for your own good. Don't you like Anthony? Then you should keep this relationship going, don't be too difficult and reckless."

"The relationship is mine, the marriage is mine. It's up to me whether to keep it. I'll say it again, I won't be your tool for a marriage alliance. Even if I'm dating him, it doesn't mean we'll get married. In short, don't have any designs on him."

Her words made Aaron a bit angry. Honestly, if it weren't for Anthony, he might have slapped her. He had spoiled Juniper too much, making her so unruly and daring to say anything.

"Alright, rest up. I won't argue with you. Anthony is a good match, both for you and for the Cooper family. Since you like him, chill out. If he breaks up with you, you'll regret it," Aaron sighed helplessly and left.

Juniper clutched her toy bunny ears sadly, her throat tight.
